Mole Valley

Abandoned Vehicles

Mole Valley District Council (MVDC) has the power to remove a vehicle on the public highway for a number of reasons if it is felt the vehicle is abandoned.

A vehicle which is considered abandoned on the public highway will be given seven days notice. If the vehicle is not removed within this seven day period, MVDC will remove and dispose of that vehicle and may charge the owner for any costs incurred.

If the owner of the vehicle contacts MVDC within the seven day notice period, the vehicle is no longer classed as abandoned, therefore MVDC will not remove it.
